"
The "new" Old Jail. You
can't appreciate the new look
until you stop by! This
is an 1860 historic building
and on the National Register
of Historic places. It
serves as an office for the
Historical Society, the
Welcome Center, and Melungeon
Museum. The Society is very
appreciative of the grant
award we received from the TN
Historical Commission for this
project."

The Hancock
County Tennessee Historical and
Genealogical Society's mission is the
collection, preservation, and
publication of our county's history and
genealogy. The Society publishes a
news-letter twice a year, Our
Mountain Heritage that is mailed
out to our members. Primary emphasis is
on the publication of local records that
are not available elsewhere. Bible
records, old letters and post cards, old
news-paper articles, oral history and
local church records are published when
available.

The Hancock County Tennessee
Historical and Genealogical Society is
a non-profit organization, located in
the Old
County Jail on Jail Street in
Sneedville Tennessee.
